Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and belonging

The founder of The Junior League, Mary Harriman, believed that we all bear the responsibility to learn about the world around us in order to be more effective in our desire to improve it. That we should really try to understand the “why” behind something, not just superficially give it lip service.

As we strive within our organization to live up to our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging we honor and celebrate the struggles, the history and the leaders of our multifaceted world.

Diversity and Inclusion Statement

In diversity there is beauty and strength.

The Junior League welcomes all women who value our Mission. We are committed to inclusive environments of diverse individuals, organizations, and communities.

Progress is Plural

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is one of the most critical issues of our time, so we invited others to join us in this important conversation. Please check back often for useful links and resources that we feel further define, explain, and help us engage in proactive conversations to better serve our community at large.
